fix: do not error out on missing Perl modules until actually necessary

Johan Ouwerkerk requested to merge ouwerkerk/kdesrc-build:defer-perl-module-warnings into master

Previously kdesrc-build would error out even before commandline options parsing if certain Perl modules are missing. This behaviour is both confusing, unhelpful and incorrect depending on the situation because kdesrc-build would never get to the commandline options parsing stage:

  • For invalid commandline options, kdesrc-build would show an 'unexpected' error message instead of pointing out the invalid commandline option
  • For simple options like --help and --version an unexpected error would appear, even though those options could still work

Issues: #56 (closed)
